I'd like to see some self reported statistics here from buyers.

Thanks for the votes, but do feel free to also post about your experiences.

If people are worried about getting ripped off, then buy from trusted sellers. Doesn't seem overly hard if you put in the time to do a little forum research on who you're buying from.
I'm 2 for 2 so far, with 3 more orders on the way.

i'm still relatively new (~10 transactions i think?) but after having a really great experience with pharmakarma earlier on and then seeing somebody else go berserk on him within the same week, i started to notice a trend that most of the times it seems like somebody's having a bad experience with a good vendor they come out guns blazing, assuming the worst, accusing instead of just trying to communicate and work it out, etc.
unless they prove me wrong, i'll try to assume the best of a reputable seller
i've also started trying to briefly communicate with lower volume / newer sellers before i buy from them, not out of a lack of trust, just so that i know there's a person i've interacted with on the other side of the transaction (and that i can interact with again if there's reason to)

Made orders from Niburu, DutchQualityBeans, AAKoven and Blaatz0r.
Nothing wrong with them 4 :)
Quick response, Quick delivery

Depends on the vendor, to be honest. If he is here less than a month and telling people to finalize early... watch out.
I used vendors who established themselves already. They also asked for early finalize, but that was because I was new at the time. I knew I stood a good chance of not being scammed because they were some of the top sellers and had great reviews here in the forums.
I dont expect to get ripped off if I use my head and do my research.

I voted "Expect to get ripped off, but hope you don't" but that's not exactly what I mean. To be honest, I trust the vendors on the Silk Road until they give me a reason not to.
I NEVER release payment early if I don't trust them. When I click "finalize", that money is dead to me. I have finalized early before, so far I haven't been ripped off, maybe I'm just lucky?
-
I trust the sellers I deal with.
So I put "some of the time."
I very seldom put my ass on the line with a new vendor. Really, we've seen long time vendors disappear here and there, so how much can you trust a name on a message board?
